About MBCF
Dedicated to fighting breast cancer through early detection, education, and comprehensive support for women across Ghana.
Our Story
How MBCF began and where we're going
The Meena Breast Cancer Foundation was born out of love, loss, and a mission to save lives.
It was founded by Ibrahim Oppong Kwarteng in memory of his late wife, Mrs. Meena Kwarteng, who tragically lost her battle with breast cancer in 2022. Meena’s passing revealed a heartbreaking reality. Too many Ghanaian women were being diagnosed late, when treatment options were limited and hope seemed out of reach
Determined to turn pain into purpose, Ibrahim Oppong established the Meena Breast Cancer Foundation to ensure that no woman would have to endure what his wife went through.
What began as a small outreach initiative has since grown into a nationwide campaign for early detection, education, and accessible treatment.
Saving Lives Through Early Detection
Meena Breast Cancer exists to reduce breast cancer mortality in Ghana through comprehensive awareness campaigns, accessible screening programs, and compassionate patient support. We believe every woman deserves access to life-saving healthcare regardless of their economic status or location.
A Ghana Free from Preventable Breast Cancer Deaths
We envision a future where every Ghanaian woman has the knowledge, resources, and support needed to detect breast cancer early and receive timely, quality treatment. Through education and community engagement, we're building a nation where breast cancer is no longer a death sentence.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do

We approach every woman with empathy, dignity, and respect, understanding that behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, and a story that deserves our full attention and care.
